Ulysses Dellaware Pemberton was born in London in 1960. His father was James Delaware Pemberton 3rd of Massachusetts, the publisher of specialty journals and academic manuscripts like “Bird Life of New England” and “Hunting for Pleasure”. His mother was Donna Gabrielle Pilkington, the famous model and handbag designer. She was a favourite of “swinging 60’s” photographers like David Bailey and Lord Avedon. She had a small roll in the seminal film of the time “Blow Up” as well as the famous bath scene with Mick Jagger in “Performance. She died tragically by drowning in the early seventies by falling from a yacht moored off Capri in Italy. The family has vehemently refuted the allegations of substance abuse.
Young Ulysses inherited his parent’s love of travel and adventure and has lived an expressive and peripatetic life. After dropping out of the elite English public school he refuses to give benefit of his association, he disappeared for some years and walked throughout the Himalayas as a wandering sadhu. He surfaced in his early 20’s in Bhutan as a fully ordained Tibetan priest and lived for a while in palace of the royal family as a favoured companion to the Crown Prince Norbukan.
After leaving the Palace, Young U. D., as he prefers to be known, was the guide and interpreter to a National Geographic expedition to film and document the history of the Ganges. Here begun UD’s love of filmmaking and writing. With his fluent Italian he gained a place in the film school in Cineciti in Rome and worked for while as an assistant to Franco Zefferilli during the last stage of his career.
But documentary filmmaking was his first love and he gained a number of commissions from his previous employer National Geographic. His most famous work was “Ice – A Journey by Degrees” which had him spending a year alone filming the progression of the Stanton Glacier in Antarctica. The follow up film “The Making of Ice” is still in heavy rotation on cable TV and widely studied in film schools around the world.
He now divides his time between his villa in Laos and Byron Bay, Australia where he has devoted his considerable aesthetic sensibility to improving the quality of architecture and interior design in this part of the world. He is often called upon to write and lecture on tropical design in the modern world. His latest book “From Shed to Chalet – Transforming the Suburban Nightmare into the International Dream” is a collectable edition.
